I mean Lamar and Aaron Rodgers got drafted in that range too. For an even deeper cut... So did Dan Marino. Hell Russ himself is a 3rd round guy. You can still hit on QB's in that range, math just isn't as good for it happening.
But Im in full agreement with you. Why bring back Payton if you were ultimately going to just tear it all down, They could've done this with a rookie coach and not set all that money on fire bringing payton's ass out of retirement.
Well not only is it far fetched but also Rodgers and Wilson were drafted as luxuries. Rodgers fell in their lap and sat, and Seahawks had just paid Flynn. They probably drafted ‘smarter’ bc they didn’t ’need n them. Broncos desperate they bout to take a QB with a 2ns round grade at 14
Bc 1- they can’t spend more picks to move up, 2- the qb board doesn’t even work like that there’s rarely anyone just sitting there. If he is, it’s for a reason. 3- They have a blinking red light ‘we need a QB’ so teams are likely to jump them if a guy is worth it. It’s just a comically bad, pretty unprecedented situation.
He's better than Cam.
